How I Work – Facilitating Balance in the Body, Mind and Spirit

Our work together is all about overcoming your Enemies of Potential. Helping you to get unstuck and release the fears/traumatic reactions, limiting beliefs that prevent your fullest potential.

At its core, our work together is about facilitating balance in the body, mind and spirit.

Balancing the Body

Just as a power surge from a storm shuts down an electrical fuse box, so traumas shut down the vital currents that allow you to operate with a full ‘power supply.’ When you are not operating with a full power supply, you can feel exhausted no matter how much sleep you get, have a hard time making self care a priority, or just feel like you’ve lost energy/direction you once had. This power supply is what makes it possible for your body to heal itself.

Traumas, fears or accidents create physiological responses These physiological responses produce reactions such as shortness of breath, flushing and difficulty swallowing, when you are triggered by something or someone in your environment reminding you, even subconsciously, of the original trauma/fear.

Havening a Brain-Based Traumatic Release Technique inoculates and restores the system and re-establishes a sustainable present-time focus. People often report no return of traumatic reactions or sharply reduced reactions.

Kinesiology can help to restore your body’s power supply to its optimal state. It employs muscle testing as a neuro-feedback system to identify the wiring or Neural pathways of the response whether it be a chronic physical symptom, emotional pain, or anxiety responses. Through a series of brain-based processes, Kinesiology often successfully alters the ‘charge’ and relaxes patterns of reaction.

Balancing the Mind and the Brain

Along with the physical reaction to the original incident, there are a series of mental and neurological responses as well. These mental responses frequently have pictures, emotions, smells and tastes and a set of internal beliefs, thoughts and decisions made to protect you in the incident.

Understanding what you do want positively is essential in recovery. What do I want positively instead of what am I running from, feeling and/or experiencing.

Full recovery depends on recognizing the beliefs, thoughts and decisions made during the trauma, then carefully evaluating and making a new set of spiritually healthier, present time, future-based decisions. Patterns of genius therapists (Neuro-linguistic Programming, NLP and Integral Eye Movement Therapy, IEMT) are used to identify and balance negative beliefs and mental reactions.

Balancing Spiritually – Through Destiny and Prayer

Recognizing that you are a spiritual being living in a human body…full and total recovery (rather than a band aid for your hurts) involves owning the Divine intention for your life – or greater purpose.

Your ‘heart wounds,’ and what you came to understand as a result, are often the stories that clarify your destiny.

Often your truest destiny utilizes the important learnings from your recovery to make a significant difference in some way.

Owning and integrating to the Divine’s larger destiny (for your life) and how you are seen by a Loving Divine are often paramount to full recovery. Through understanding how your difficulties form a wisdom path to your destiny there is often a freedom from wounding and resentment…the trauma resolves and becomes your story of deeper purpose.

Learning to pray in a way that fosters your Source connection allows you to live fully in your Destiny and face the inevitable Enemies to your Destiny. Together we will learn to pray effectively through acting cooperatively…providing the sense of Divine interdependence necessary to empower your destiny.

Personal Investment, Expected Amount of Time, and Self Care

It is most common for people to spend approximately 10-15 hours from beginning of treatment to finish for a standard trauma. Healing requires trust, commitment to do your homework, & a strong connection. I will refer you should I believe that the fit is not creating results very quickly.

For those who have multiple Traumatic Reactions/Phobias or Chronic Condition Related to Unresolved Loss and Fear treatment may extend over a few months. This is not standard treatment that goes on for years. My job is to restore your health and resilience so that I am unnecessary.

First sessions are 2.5 to 3 hours, allowing for a general overview of the problem, significant related history and a detailed map of how the symptom operates. The session culminates in a strategic piece of work.

Subsequent sessions are 1.5 to 2 hours and normally are spaced two weeks apart in order to allow for integration and homework, and roadtesting of the strategies.

It is essential that you plan downtime to sleep and relax after each session. Your brain has gone through a deep change. You need time to recircuit. Drinking lots of water is also important. Expect to need extra sleep and feel ‘spacy’ for a few days…this is normal when your brain is integrating.
